Before you jump to conclusions, why not consider that comments and post types of 'post' could be moved to a canonical plugin that ships with WordPress, to be enabled by default but disabled on sites that don't need a blog? 

I'm not saying it needs to be done, but by version 3.5 or so it may make sense...  (Never say never.)
